Bridging Ceremony

Ella has completed her first year as a Brownie Girl Scout.

She proudly shares the pledge sign with the "right" hand! ~Finally :-)

I thought she would never get that "right".

Marley and Ella were in the same troop this year.

Here they are singing one of their camp songs.

"The Beaver Song"

Ella earned some badges, some pins and other awards.

Here her leader, Michelle, pins her.

Marley receives her awards and honors as well. You can see that her vest is very full. Hopefully, we will find room on there to add her latest achievements.
This also means it is time for Marley to move on to the next level of scouting.

Here is Marley symbolically crossing the bridge into Junior Scouts.

She is welcomed on the other side of the bridge by an older Junior and a new friendship is made.

All of these girls were Brownies with Marley and are now ready to move onto the Junior Troop.

They are also all moving on to the Intermediate School next year.

They are not babies any more.

Graduates of elementary school and Brownie Scouts they are very ready to be big bad fourth graders!
